Gotta love those fuel gauges that sit on full for a hundred miles. 151 miles on this tank and just getting to where it starts dropping faster.
edit: forgot to add, this should be a good run. Lots of 45mph steady cruising on back roads. Took the longer slow way today to avoid the freeway on about a hundred mile trip. Probably fill n check tomorrow.

Yep, well plus, to do it right, I've removed the radiator support and will be welding a new one back in. Airbags make for mighty expensive repairs. This one required replacing the dash, air bags, seat belt pre-tensioners (which deploy like an airbag to tighten seat belt), windshield, hood, bumper cover, crash bar behind bumper, bumper shocks, grills, headlight, hood release, crash sensor, airbag module, etc etc. Some parts common with cts but the ctsv specific parts are low production and much more expensive. Plus, lots and lots of hours of labor. Easier to see now why it doesn't look like much but gets totaled.

45.34.
that's great but I actually expected a little better on that yank. I'd say kinda peaking without mods and summer.
If I still have it with warm weather, summer gas, grill block n air dam, and some thinner synthetic oil, I'd bet a donut I can see 50.
